Well this exemplifies just how useless the office is. I agree that
contacting the school was the right thing to have done, but I think it's
pretty damn disgusting that its Wikipedia editors that have to do it. So no
I don't agree that a policy should be set up, the people that run this
website should step in and make some kind of official *efficient* process
rather than sit back and let these matters be handled in a confused, unsure
manner by people who don't really know what they're doing (though they are
of course well meaning and I appreciate that they do it).
